Spoofed email?

I got an email since the person that bought my product couldn't send me money due to account limit. I responded to paypal and got this other email from paypal greeting me with a name that was not even mine. They claimed I was overpaid and that I needed to give the person that paid me 300$ worth of giftcards. They also wanted me to send codes of the cards to THEM. I could not find paypal support either, so I am very pincered right now. What happened?

They would not be paypal emails, they would be FAKE paypal emails trying to scam you.
